    During the studies

    We maintain close cooperation with social work organizations with which we exchange knowledge and experience in "Social Work in Practice" networking meetings, as well as at conferences regularly held at FH Campus Wien. At our campus we have our own Competence Center for Social Work which acts as an interface between research, practice and teaching. It brings the knowledge and innovation potential of these three areas together in one place. The study "Social Support for Traumatized Persons", which was conducted on behalf of the ESRA association, is only the latest example of the research conducted here. The course "Research and Development Project" also provides a strong focus on practical relevance and research in the second and third semesters. Internships during your studies are guided, integrated learning phases in different social institutions that generally do not offer compensation. During the degree program you will complete a total of three guided internships. They may be completed in Austria or abroad. We will support you in internships or theory semesters abroad. The courses are generally taught in German. However, we offer two seminar groups with some courses in English (up to 30% of the courses). If you are accepted into the degree program, please let us know if you would like to attend one of these seminar groups.

    This general basic education will qualify you to work as a social worker and a social educator. The location in Vienna offers a wealth of interesting internship opportunities in innovative projects and organizations in social work. The double qualification in social work and social education creates excellent job opportunities. The strong international orientation of the degree program allows you to deepen your language and intercultural skills with a theory semester or internship abroad.
    You will benefit from our strong network of partner universities in Europe, Africa, Asia or (Latin) America. Furthermore, this scientific training is an excellent foundation for a subsequent master's degree in social work or in related disciplines such as sociology or education.

    The degree program will provide you with the general basic principles for a professional occupation in the different fields of social work. (social work and social education). You will learn to analyze social problems with the acquired theoretical knowledge and to reflect upon issues related to real life. Elective courses offer the possibility to focus on personal emphases. In the course of your education you will acquire three core skills:

    • Scientifically well-founded professional skills: your basic knowledge of social work theories and models as well as relevant related sciences form the basis for recognizing complex causes of social problems and for initiating changes.
    • Vocational decision-making skills: knowledge of social work methodology and communicative skills enable a professional approach to work with individual clients, groups and the community as well as with political decision makers and the public.
    • The social and personal skills: The degree program promotes critical examination of theory and practice as well as your capacity for careful consideration. It prepares you to be successful in your challenging prospective field of work.

    Content

    In this module, the students acquire an understanding of the conditions and objectives of ‘reflection’ and collectively generate group rules for the formation of the module. Self-perception and external perception are addressed, and team and cooperation skills strengthened.

    Furthermore, students acquire fundamental knowledge about selected social organisations i.e. relating to their history, goals, tasks, legal conditions, financial foundations, professional repertoire of methods, organisational structure and documentation. Current questions by selected institutions, as well as concrete practice experience are reflected, and related to theory and practice where appropriate. This is also done in preparation for a 4-week long work placement, which full time students complete at the beginning of the 2nd semester and relates to the practice orientation days for part time students in the 1st/2nd semester. Questions about reconciling studies, work placement and professional motivation are discussed. The different roles of work placement managers and interns are discussed and explained.

    The students receive an introduction to the fundamentals and areas of responsibility of child and youth services. They engage with family related work, systems, structures, functions and roles. As symptom-bearing members, children are at the centre of the professional analysis and support planning (i.e. support in questions of parenting, imparting family supportive offers). Furthermore, an introduction into the specific problem areas of parents who have fallen ill, violence in the family, parental custody and the arrangement of contact, is given.

    Regarding the problem of endangerment to the welfare of the child, the students learn about its conceptual definitions, steps within the intervention procedures and the breadth of strategic solutions, taking material disadvantages into consideration. The emphasis is placed on the fundamentals of social diagnostics, child protection, working with family law, as well as aspects of return to undivided parenting.

    In this module, an overview of working with conflict is given. Causes, phases and escalation stages are discussed. Personal conflict styles are reflected upon. The structure and sequence of a constructive conflict conversation is elaborated through conflict analysis tools and conflict resolution strategies, with the help of methods of intervention (like conflict moderation). Goals, areas of implementation, phases and principles of mediation, as well as basic attitudes within mediation are taught. Mediation techniques and their possibilities and limitations within Social Work are presented and tried out through role playing. Approaches for dealing with conflict through mediation are elaborated upon. An insight into the preparation and implementation of negotiations in private and professional contexts is given (i.e. as a resource to establish support systems in the area of Social Work). Helpful communication models for de-escalation and further communication and negotiation techniques are applied.

    In this module, the meaning of social work with groups as a targeted method of social interaction, is conveyed. Important topics include: group and feedback rules, group-dynamic elements and phases, different role models in groups and exemplary approaches to group formation processes.

    The shaping of social learning processes is experienced and conveyed through personal group experiences.

    The students learn about the prerequisites for gaining professionalism, as a participant and as a group and team leader.

    The versatile work with and in groups in Social Work is discussed, as a gateway to life worlds and social backgrounds (i.e. youth work), for (socio-pedagogical) support offers (i.e. organised self-help groups), as well as to establish and accompany interest groups (i.e. in community work). In addition the role of professionals within groups is addressed. Through the discussion of group case studies, a differentiated assessment about preparation, planning and the implementation of methods of social group work is achieved. The students’ personal experiences of participating in and leading of group activities, allows for a reflective engagement with theoretical referencing, such as roles, topical references and group rules.

    The students learn about theories, concepts and explanatory models to social inequality and social exclusion on macro, meso and micro sociological levels. In the process, the relationship between society and individual are analysed and reflected through social structure, institutions/networks and social interactions with regard to their interrelation.

    Furthermore, questions of normativity, normality and normalisation are dealt with from a historic and current perspective, as well as related processes of exclusion in a theoretical and practical sense. Students learn to analyse different aspects of difference from normality and deviance and reflect on them critically. Through current questions, the students learn to use an intersectional perspective on social problems in their practice in Social Work and relate them to present developments in the areas of intervention of Social Work in a reflective manner.

    Content

    The students receive an overview of the schools of thought and theories relating to global inequality and development policy (development theory, development institutions, civil society movements, social economy, alternative approaches to neoliberal economy, 5-sector model, care work and feminist economy). These are placed in relation to each other and a connection to Social Work is established. These interrelationships are reflected both on a global and on a local level. In this context, historical developments relating to Social Work are taken into consideration. Through lectures, the students are encouraged to develop an interest in global economic processes, to strengthen their outlook on societal processes, to recognise the relationship between political, economic and societal developments on an international and national level, to reflect on their own position and behaviour within society and finally to connect this knowledge to Social Work intervention.

    In this module, the students develop fundamental knowledge about the characteristics of psychosocial crisis situations and their typical course (traumatic crisis, transitional crisis, suicidal crisis, chronic crisis, chronic susceptibility for crisis), making a distinction between trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder.

    Students learn about crisis and trauma-specific possibilities for intervention, in particular conversation techniques and conversational guidance to deescalate psychosocial crisis (crisis intervention). Furthermore, the students reflect upon crisis experiences and thus generate experiential knowledge, which can be related to theory during the module. Methods and techniques of psychological hygiene and self-care are included.

    Content

    Historical and current approaches to working at the local community level, as well as developments of socio-cultural and social-space-oriented approaches are imparted to the students. On this basis, the students practice and learn about selected methods of social-space analysis, the investigation of outreach work, including information, activation and project work, the support of citizens, moderating and supporting large and small groups, as well as negotiating different conflictual situations.

    On the basis of case study examples, taking methodological action with regards to target group specific and target group overlapping Social Work is reflected, in order to understand the connections between professional principles and the application of intervention techniques.

    Emphasis on open youth work:

    Students receive an overview of organisational forms, conditions and goals of selected offers within open children and youth work (i.e. youth centres, park support, outreach and mobile youth work). In the process, the goals of open youth work are addressed, such as organising recreational activities, supporting personal development, development of sexual identities and supporting relationship-building abilities and creating ‘try out spaces’ in the spirit of professionally supervised intermediate worlds.

    Furthermore, the students get to know life-world and appropriation-oriented approaches and methods, as well as practice Social Work interventions in different consultancy and support situations.

    Through concrete case study examples, the students are taught to analyse complex social problems and topics for children and youth, to determine the role, function and professional orientation of Social Work, to develop possibilities of intervention and to justify methodological interventions in detail.

    Emphasis on district work:

    The students receive an overview of the programme, project and organisation which Social Work offers in public spaces and/or operates in district work (i.e. neighbourhood projects, offers of urban regeneration, outreach measures of Social Work). Thereby, notions of order and measures in public spaces and districts (i.e. residential buildings, open spaces, railway stations, shopping streets) are critically elaborated on, while projects of participatory development and social participation within the district are discussed, in order to make Social Work intervention perspectives usable and develop them further.

    Through concrete case study examples, the students are taught to analyse complex social problems within urban spaces, in order to determine the role, function and professional orientation, to develop possibilities of Social Work intervention and to justify methodological interventions in detail.

    Students are introduced to space-sociological, politico-economic and political scientific fundamentals of urban and regional development. Social phenomena of unequal spatial development are discussed, and changes in the relation of public and private spaces are reflected. Different theories and models of social spaces are presented, and the students learn about relating them to the functions and interventions of Social Work.

    With a view on special areas of policy such as economic revaluation policy, housing policy, democratisation policy, security and planning policy, the students get to know the governmental procedures and actors, and are able to connect these to altered functions and forms of intervention of Social Work. Through concrete case studies the students are instructed to develop an understanding of the complex network of actors and forms of cooperation against the backdrop of governmental competence distribution and decision-making processes.
